Random 5 Friday - August 30th

1. My husband and I toured Shinola Detroit - it was very cool and I lots of pictures. They are a Detroit based company that builds bikes and produces Swiss engineering watches, all from their headquarters her in the D. Post to come soon!

2. I made some Bourbon Peach Jam and some Scotch Peach Jam. I honestly like the Scotch version better!

3. I found this series on Netflix and I have been watching it. I am slightly embarrassed to admit it.

4. Finished this book and loved it. Now I want it to be fall. Like right now. And I want to know how to knit. You can read my review here

5. I have been trying to live by this manifesto all year - I thought it was a good time to reread it and recommit to this idea. Read about it here.

I loved Orange is the New Black!! I devoured it. I wasn't sure about it either, but I ended up an addict of the show. I am on the waiting list for the book, which once I learned it was a book, promptly requested it.

I love to knit - it's a fall & winter activity for me.. so it won't be long until days are shorter & darker & colder, and I'll be happily nested with my knitting needles. :)Love the manifesto!I think it was you who commented about the book Prodigal Summer - I read that earlier this summer, and loved it. It was my first Kingsolver book.. I've since read 3 more. Hooked!

I agree, lots of good things to think about in the manifesto. :) I have the manifesto in my office at work as well - sometimes I need to be reminded of some of those things (like breathe) while I am at work.
